Different flavor and message from yesterday's canvas.  There are more changes in store but this allows you to observe the process. One  Horse   Painting  coming together in monochromatic form. At times in this process I begin to feel that panic in the pit of my stomach. I want to literally scrape all the paint off and walk away, but something ties me to the canvas to finish what I began. The  spirit  with in pushes me forward to be brave and to put the energy and anxiety into the paint and this proce

I will share the process of this  painting  over three days but painfully this is where it began.  When I start things and immediate they become 'odd' I know it requires a brave front and depending on the creative spirit with in to move forward. This  horse   painting  will take on a different view over the next two days, so come back to see more!

I close my eyes and feel the leaves as they fall from the trees brushing my face and hands.  Even as these leaves die and fall from the tree they remind me of the rich living bounty of God.  Some might wish it was money falling from the trees, but not me. These leaves symbolize all God gives us daily with this bounty open to us to have at any time. He continues to bless us with shared smiles, conversations, hugs, winks and many treasured moments.

So today is my birthday. I cannot figure out why they seem to come around faster and faster each year. It is quite the change from life living at the lake to where we are living now.  Now is above and then is below.  Terry is still busy bringing in more flowers, trees and plants. I do not think we will eve

This  painting  of Wolves traversing the snow in Canada reminds me of our own journey. There is a  hunger  that drives us. It used to be hunger to find something to eat, but now the hunger is power, toys, possessions, homes, cars.  What is your reality? What drives you each day? Is it the search for  happiness  and contentment? Is  happiness  conditional?  Can you be satisfied and find  happin

The Watering Hole, Contemporary Abstract Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

I guess it would depend on the length of 'the  future '.  I was teaching Lady L (My granddaughter) about the word 'future'.  It was hard to grasp as we talked about what we would be doing in ten minutes was 'the future'.  The final outcome was that only  God  knows the  future . He has a plan in mind for each of us. We can make our lists of goals and dream of what wonderful things we want in life, but in truth we have ev
